Where does this vacuum line connect to ?


Recommended Posts

So sent my 74 911 (with 84 Carrera engine) in for a major service and cars been running like crap (lumpy) since I got it back , had the crank angle sensor replaced as it went cactus. Noticed that this vacuum line marked as number 2 on the solenoid seems to not be connected and can't seem to find anywhere obvious that it should be connected to... Anyone have guidance ?

That looks like a later 964/993 inlet manifold.

That's called a change over valve and it is used to operate the resonance flap in the inlet manifold.  I presume since it is disconnected that the flap has been removed completely or wired open.

The flap is used to improve bottom end torque by changing the resonance response of the manifold.  The flap usually opens at about 5,000rpm or so to improve top end torque.  If you have a modern ECU they usually have the capacity to operate the flap.  Just have to tune the opening on a dyno to maximise the effect.
